WW WHITE CHICKEN CHILLI
Ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, diced
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cans (15 ounces each) white beans (cannellini or Great Northern), drained and rinsed
- 1 can (4 ounces) diced green chilies
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (0% fat)
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
- Lime wedges, for serving (optional)
Instructions:
- In a large pot, heat some cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until it’s browned on all sides. Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside.
- In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- Return the cooked chicken to the pot.
- Add the white beans, diced green chilies, chicken broth, ground cumin, dried oregano, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors meld together.
- Stir in the frozen corn and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- Remove the pot from heat and stir in the plain Greek yogurt. This adds creaminess without adding a lot of points.
- Taste the chili and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Ladle the Weight Watchers white chicken chili into bowls, garnish with shredded cheese and fresh cilantro (if desired), and serve with lime wedges for a burst of citrus flavor.
